Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I rarely get to play the Inspiration Challenge on SCS because my husband and I usually work ourselves to death in the yard on Saturdays... LOL! But this morning I had a little early morning time and I played along. The inspiration was to be taken from the Moyna Handbags and I chose this one. I loved the beaded black and white bag and decided to try beading my card.I stamped the image, which is one of the three newly released sets from Our Daily Bread Designs, in Black Versafine and then clear embossed. I then covered the whole image panel with beadable embossing tape and covered with LaJolla Sugar Dust Beads. I loved the effect of the embossing under the beads because it gave a raised effect to the beaded area. I don't know if you can see that or not in the photo but it is a cool effect. I matted with basic black.
The designer paper is Making Memories, and I spritzed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl from ODBD. That really gave this paper some pretty sparkle! Oh I love this glimmer mist! I matted again with basic black and mounted on a white base.
I wanted to keep the design fairly simple, as the bag was an overall simple design. My only embellishments are the Cuttlebug Die Cut/ Embossed butterfly and the "trail" of pearls, which is Prima and also from ODBD. I cut the butterfly once out of black and once out of more dp from the Making Memories Black Tie pack and I rubbed black in on the negative side of the CB folder before embossing. The sentiment panel is on dimensionals.
I hope you like my beaded card and thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a blessed weekend!

Another beautiful card, Grace! Please let me know the secret to using Glimmer Mist! I love the idea of it but have never had success when I use it. I always end up with a gloppy mess!!
